Motorola 905 and Signal Loss

[clay_horton]

I have a Motorola 905 Sidecar and recently it is losing signal a few times when I tune in a satellite. I notice it most on T4. This morning I tried to tune the NW Cable News on C4 and it would lock for an instant and then go away. The remaining signals show a 60 signal level, the two analog signals are quite strong, and the DVB channels are also strong. What are some possible issues with the 905?

Terrestrial interference (TI) usually the cause. Probably intermittent. If you check signal quality when it happens it will be all over the place
going up and down like crazy. Also possible component failure in the receiver but I doubt it. Check all connections and cables also.

Thanks for the information. It was wet that morning. The system works better now.
